I would agree that 1A players are limited on their exposure to D1 opportunities only if they are expecting their football coach alone to get them noticed. You must have a good relationship with your coach, because he is usually the first person the recruiters call. Anyone wanting to go to the next level can get exposure by attending combines, putting up decent times, sending out films and calling colleges. There is a lot of time and effort put into recruiting whether you are from a small school or large school. I commend any kid who can transition from high school sports to college sports; whether it is D1a, D1aa, DII, DIII, or NAIA. You must read "ATHLETES WANTED" if you are really interested in going on to play college sports, it is very informative.
